As a consequence of osmotic balance stress, H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S stimulates OT release from the paraventricular nuclei (PVN) in the hypothalamic regulation of blood volume and pressure. Hemorrhagic shock (HS) represents one of the most pronounced acute changes in blood volume, which, moreover, may cause at least transient brain tissue hypoxia. Atherosclerosis is associated with reduced vascular expression of the main endogenous H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S producing enzyme cystathionine-\u03b3-lyase (CSE), and, hence, exogenous H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S administration could be beneficial in these patients, in particular after HS. However, so far cerebral effects of systemic H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S administration are poorly understood. Having previously shown lung-protective effects of therapeutic Na<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> administration in a clinically relevant, long-term, porcine model of HS and resuscitation we evaluated if these protective effects were extended to the brain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, available unanalyzed paraffin embedded brain sections (Na<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 8 or vehicle <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 5) of our recently published HS study were analyzed <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> neuro-histopathology and immunohistochemistry for the endogenous H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>S producing enzymes, OT, OTR, and markers for brain injury and oxidative stress (glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and nitrotyrosine).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Neuro-histopathological analysis revealed uninjured brain tissue with minor white matter edema.
